This sounds like a problem with the I-STAR server(s) you have set up on h3. You should have two entries in $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts (one for each instance) and you should have launched two sqlexecd daemons (one for each server). It sounds like one or both of the above is missing or incorrect. graeme -- Disclaimer: The author's opinions are his own, and not necessarily those of Pyramid Technology Ltd. or Pyramid Technology Inc. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -m------- Graeme Sargent Voice: +44 (0)252 373035 ---mmm----- Senior Database Consultant Fax : +44 (0)252 373135 -----mmmmm--- Pyramid Technology Ltd.
